Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.65.
The skill is simple and real — 2.3 threes with passable percentages whenever he's on the floor. But he's coming off a 12-game season and our games line is deliberately harsh at around 26, even acknowledging the sturdy track record before the washout. Treat him as a threes rental you stream, not a roster spot you commit.
Max Strus enters 2026-27 at #212 on our board — Round 18 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 24.2 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and threes, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 26 games, which is priced into his draft value.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
